Question

A water pump for a goldfish pond is rated at 1.7 cubic feet per minute. Given that 1 cubic foot is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons, what would the pump’s rating be in gallons per hour? Round your answer to the nearest whole gallon per hour.

Answer 1

1.7 cubic feet/minute x 7.48 gallons/1 cubic foot x 60 minutes/hour

 

your units for cubic feet and minutes cancel out leaving you with gallons/hour

 

762.96 gallons per hour 

round to 763 gallons/hour
